Check out my Braves vs. Dodgers SGP predictions for April 2.
Braves vs. Dodgers predictions
Parlay: Dodgers -1.5 | Snell over 6.5 Ks | Ozuna over 0.5 hits (+400)
Dodgers -1.5 (-118): There’s no reason to think the Dodgers will take their first loss on Wednesday.
Los Angeles carries the significant pitching advantage, rolling out Snell against Bryce Elder for Atlanta. Elder, a right-hander got knocked around last season, posting a 6.52 ERA over 49.2 innings.
And the Dodgers lineup has got on him in the past. Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernandez are a combined 8-for-20 (.400) off of Elder in their careers.
The Braves have scored the second-fewest runs per game (1.6) with the second-worst team batting average (.144). I doubt they turn things around tonight.
MLB SGP legs
Snell over 6.5 Ks (-134): Snell underwhelmed in his season debut with the Dodgers.
He was solid, allowing two runs over five innings while striking out two. But the lefty had otherworldly standards heading into the season off the back of a tremendous 2024:
- 3.19 ERA
- 12.5 K/9
- 7+ Ks in nine of his final 11 starts
According to Baseball Savant, Snell ranked in the 98th percentile for both whiff rate (37.7%) and K rate (34.7%).
That all goes before mentioning his wealth of success against this Braves’ offence.
Atlanta’s hitters are batting .171 against Snell, with way more combined strikeouts (19) than hits (seven).
Ozuna 0.5 hits (-134): The one player who’s has decent career stats against Snell is Ozuna.
They’ve only met eight times, but the slugger has two hits and two walks. Both knocks went for extra bases, with one being a home run.
We don’t need the power or walks here, but Ozuna seemingly sees the ball well out of Snell’s hand.
This final leg isn’t asking for much while adding a ton of value to the parlay. It takes the final price from +135 to +400.
